A dlsturbing element in speculation was the grave appearance of the Chinese situation, with Japan mobilizing her forces and France refnforcing her Pacific fleet.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—In wheat speculators were treated to & mild sensation at the open- ing by the action of the Liverpool market. The quotations from there were up 14d per cental for futures. No. 1 Northern spring on the spot had been raised 14 per cental, and even the London cargo market showed an advance of from 3d to 64 per quarter. May opened here with a jump to 92%c, with some sales at the same time at 82%c. The clos- ing price vesterday was S1ic. July started at from B4%e to B%e, compared with 83%c yester- day afternoon. Outside markets were also very strong, espe- clally New York and Minneapolls, and this had its effect. The reason for the strength of the Liverpool market was sald to be on ac- count of the growing scarcity of offerings from Argentina. A cablegram from Rosario said, however, that the farmers' deliveries in that country were retarded by rain and that plenty would be forthcoming later; that the area in wheat had been large, the yleld heavy, and that no reduction in the estimated export- able surplus was being made. But another reason for Liverpool strength was continuation of drought in India. Notwithstanding the ca- blegram from Rosario, Liverpool reaffirmed | earlier statements of scarcity of Argentine of- ferings. There was plenty of selling both of July and of May, many holders taking advantage of the sharp opening advance to realize, but declines of only about ic resulted in each, and when the realizing ceased prices went up again. Primary Western market receipts ail told were 365,000 bushels, against 271,000 bushels the year before. Minneapolis stocks for the week were expected to show 200,000 bushels increase and Duluth 500,000 busheis increase, and on that basis and estimate of wee! exports, 500,- 000 bushels decrease in the visible is looked for; last year the decrease for the similar week was 1,164,000 bushels. Liverpool closing prices showed net gains for the day of %d for March, 1d for May and 34d for July. Paris noted 25 centimes decline in January flour and 5 centimes advance in March-June. Antwerp advised 1214 centimes rise in both red winter and Walla Walla wheat. The clearances from Atlantic and Gulf ports in wheat and flour were equal to 635,000 bushels. The market here began to weaken after the posting of the weekly shipment from Argen- tina, which rather confirmed the earlier Rosario cabie concerning the large surplus. The ship- ments were given at 32,000 bushels. =Selling be- came quite free after that snd it was the impression that the Leiter crowd liquidated Some of their July and May holdings. May declined to $1%C and was bringing SU%c at the close. July s0ld down to 8o and at A fairly g00d trade was done in corn with- out any material change in prices. Trade in cats showed a considerable improve- ment and the market most of the time was quite firm. 3 Provisions were active with a good demand ac the start, principally from packers. The mar- ket eased off subsequently in sympathy with the decline in wheat. The leading futures ranged as follows: | | | Klondfke were inquired for.

"XNAI;IAL REVIEW. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Bradstreet's Financial Review to-morrow will say: Irregular spocu- lative conditions have prevalled during the week. Roalizing of profits and bear attacks on prices have been seen, the latter belng based on the revival of the Cuban agitation in the House of Representatives at Washington 21d of silver measures in the Senate. On the other hand, at declines there were evidences of buying, end in one portion of the market a normal degree of strength has been shown. This group included the stocks of the North- ern and Union Pacific and the companies whose titles include the name of Oregon. The basis for their activity and strength was the growing bellef that the companies in question will obtain an enormous amount of tratfic in the coming spring and from the transportation of the passengers ‘and freight destined to the Alaskan gold flelds. The strength shown in this part of the market to some extent coun- terected the bearish demonstrations in other parts of the market. In the bond list, which was very active, though not to such an extent as last week, the features were also largely furnished by this so-called ‘'Klondike' group of companies. Another feature was the local traction stocks, but Manhattan was subjected to more or less realizing, and Metropolitan Street Raliway, which advanced to 143, suffered & mid-week decline. London itself was not a factor in the mar- ket here, in fact the public there was inclined o take an unfavorable view of the revival of sliver agitation in Congress. On the other hand, Berlin and Amsterdam have been large purchasers of Northern Pacific and Union Pa- cific seeurities. The industrials, with the ex- ception of Bugar, were neglected, d that stock was frregular, and, generally speaking, weak, except when covering of the short inter- est gave it temporary advances. The Vander- bilta were strong in spite of some speculative realizt and grangers followed instead of leading “the course of the general market. cholce Westerns, $3 6)@4 20: ‘common and stock | sheep, $3G3 %0; lambs, $ 25@6 50.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW. NEW YORK, Jen. 21.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: A large measure of activity in business and Industrial lines, with, in some Instances, previous records surpassed, and very generally steadiness in prices of staples, is per- haps the most notable feature of the trade situation this week. Quotations of cereals show the most aggressive strength, while those of some makes of pigiron betray rather a more decided weakness than they did a week ago. Mild weather 1s frequently mentioned as an influence tending to check retail distribution of seasonable goods, chiefly because of the effect on country roads. Spring trade opens slowly, as usual at that time of the year, but confidence is still unimpaired. As already in- timated, the immense current production of pigiron, amounting to fully 1,000,000 tons per month, bas begun to exercise an influence upon the price of that staple, but decreases reported are still only fractional. The outlock in the steel rail trade is reported as a flattering one. Large orders for railroad account already booked have been increased within the week, &n example of this being furnished by sales | of 15,000 tons reported from Chicago at full prices. Higher prices for wool abroad, based partly on short yleld reports, are reflected in the firmness of domestic quotations. altnough | the demand, while comparing well with most | preceding years. is smaller than it was at this time in 1597, when the tariff changes wers be- ing anticipated. The industrial situation, with the single exception of the cotton Industry, 1s_one of exceptional strength. Business is active on the Pacific Const. Cali- fornla crop prospects have been improved by the recent ral are very active along Puget Portland. Quite a shrinkage in_cereal exports is in- dicated by reports to Bradstreet this week. Total shipments of wheat. flour inciuded, from the United States and Canada. amounted to only 3.926,000 bushels, against 3,229,000 bushels lust week. 2,916,000 bushels week a_year R0, 3,816,900 bushels in 189 and 2.840,000 bush- els in the third week of January, 1895.

Weekly Review of Trade will say to-morrow With a volume of business remarkable for the time of year, 38 per cent larger than a year ago ‘and 10.4 per cent larger than in 1892 in payments through the clearing-houses, it is not discouraging that one or two industries are lagging. The demand for most goods is more heavy for the season, manufacturing works are better employed and orders booked and in prospect for the future are more encouraging than at this season in any other year of which equally definite records exist. Exports of products continue surprisingly heavy, in spite of some rise in prices. Treas- ury receipts from customs were larger in- twenty days of January than in the entire month of October or November, and appre- hension regarding the monetary future is no longer felt outside of speculative circles. Fail- ures are considerably smaller than were ever W 1 Club, 7e; No. 1 Blue St known at this season, both banking and trad- | ing less than half last year's. Rallroad earn- ings in January thus far reported have been 10.6 per cent larger than last year and 10.§ per cent larger than in 1592. The rise of wheat above a dollar in regular sales was not accompanied by signs of specu- lative excitement. In fact, the continu.nce of extruordinary exports, ‘2845705 bushels, flour included, for the week from Atlantic last year, and for three weeks 9,022,493 ‘bushels, against 5,509,532 last year, besides 4,036,940 from Pacific Coast ports for three weeks, would give an excuse for high prices, even .if “the cOrn exports were not enough to foreign need, amounting to 9,270,189 s, inst 10,774,208 for weeks. The fact that cargoes of corn wers shipped during the week to Egypt and Russia, the very countries upon which Europe most relies for breadstuffs next to the United States, affected trade not unreasonably.

Such has proved to be the case. No coal famine is feared; i certain charac- ters of coal are not procurable, there are sub- stitutes, probably not 8o desirable, which can readily be had. Of coumse if most of cur north- ern coal carriers should be diverted to other business, thereby materfally diminishing our supplies from that source, then there would be some grounds for alarm, but for the moment this is premature. We shall feel the effects of the diversion of our colliers to the Alaska trade later on. This is an assurance.
